I bought this in a screaming deal from Academy online - like less than 1/5th the retail price - I think they made a mistake in the ad...but hey, they honored it and shipped it for free too! I gotta say...it's probably worth every penny of the retail price! I have struggled for years to "make do" with the folding 2 bar bar version that can handle all types - canoes and sit in's as well as sit on tops...but having to use two straps...then having to deal with the boats shifting on uphills... and the boats tumping over at the worst times...I try using up to 4 straps... sometimes it works ok...sometimes my boats will still tump over....it really stinks...especially when it is100 degrees and I've just fished for hours and hours...and I have to fight my cart to do it's job just to get back to my Jeep. This cart is SO simple to use - the soft rubber on the uprights means I will never damage my kayak...and there is no shifting...just one simple strap...it's a dream to use. Gotta admit- I now consider what my 'cart time' will be like for each spot I go fishing. If it is long commute from Jeep to the launch...or if it's over rocky terrain...or uphill/downhill....then I am gonna grab the sit on top and THIS cart. And that is saying a LOT, since I'd rather fish from my Old Town Pack solocanoe #1, my sit in kayak #2 , and lastly my sit on top...but just because of this cart making it so easy....the sit on top is getting more and more use!
